EPISODE 15 : ENGAGEMENT PARTY Christian and John conversation were mostly about sports, they both share the same likeness toward soccer and were in the same club.I was beginning to get tired of sitting at the table and listening to them, and so, I excused myself and left for the pool lounge. I saw some girls sitting at a round table with bottles of alcohol on their table, I went there with the approach of making new friends, the eyes of their leader turned, she grinned and then offered me a chair..I sat down and they passed a bottle of alcohol to me ."I know you?" The girl who sat beside me said.."Oh! Where?". I opened the bottle of beer and asked her. She squinted her eyes, trying to remember where. And after some minutes, her fingers snapped and she addressed me a Christian foster sister..."You're the foster daughter to Lakewood right; Christians sister?". She said..I confirmed to her by smiling..All of a sudden, they wanted to see Christian. I had told them he was at the r
EPISODE 16: MAYBE IT WASN'T MEANT TO BEI had to force Christian to come down to his own engagement party, if I would stay through the entire ceremony, he should too.Mom was pleased at the entry of her children, it was her remark that made me realize, Christian and I wore the same color of outfit..I was taken hand in hand and given to David.Dad brought the rings and he instructed David to take out the ring and put it on my fingers.He did just as he was instructed and it was my turn. Dad wanted me to do the same thing and just as I collected the ring , the light went off, there was darkness everywhere.Dad asked everyone to remain calm while they sort out the issues, I swallowed a deep breath and anxiously waited for the lights to come back on, so I can get over with the ceremony..The light came on eventually, Dad requested that everyone be seated while they resume with the engagement party..David foolishly grinned at that moment I placed the engagement ring on his fingers, he we
EPISODE 17: LET'S PRETEND.The engagement party became a success, Talia and her team left without taking anything incriminating between Christian and I..Mom made me walk David and his parents to their car, Christian also and as he bid Lisa Farewell, I was also bidding David as well.."Phew!". I exclaimed loudly, like there was a huge burden pressing down on my chest..I went up to my room and Christian went towards the kitchen for a glass of water.I am changing into something more comfortable when I heard a tender knock on my bedroom door.I went ahead and opened up for Dad..He held some documents and wanted us to have a conversation."What's up dad? Everything good?". .I brought the chair closer as he sat down and comfortably brought the papers out, giving me to read."Take this and tell me what you think?". He said.I took the document and to my own surprise it was dad's last will in testament, he has finally willed his properties to his son and gave the rest left for me but th
EPISODE 18: THREE DAYS AT A RESORT..The following morning, mom asked the maids to prepare my luggage and also Christian's, hearing her send them up to my bedroom, I was made to assume the worst, maybe she now knows the truth and in other to punish me, I'd have to leave the house; that, however , wasn't the case, dad brought two couples retreats on a hotel brochure.David and Lisa would also be accompanying us.Mom said that she had everything planned, and would want us to take a three days off to relax before the wedding planning begin..Christian had no objection and neither did I. We came with our luggages to the car and that was when David and Lisa arrived.They were estatic in spending some days at the hotel.I don't want to go but what choice do I have?.I had to share the same room with David, it's not enough that I had to engaged to him, now, I have to share the same room for the next three days.."Nina! You busy?". I just came out of the bathroom when David called me over
EPISODE 19 : A DAY OFF. The following morning, I woke up with a spitting headache, all night I thought about calling off my wedding with David. But then again, the truma of loosing my parents and watching Christian loosing his inheritance scared me. I cannot allow that to happen to him and it doesn't matter if I have to sacrifice my happiness for his sake. Christian was already having his breakfast at the hotel's restaurant when I arrived, I thought I'd find him seated so close to his fiancée but Lisa was no where found.. "Good morning beautiful". He offered me the chair that was beside him and smiled.. "Good morning, hasn't Lisa returned?". I sat down and began my investigation.. "She is! Still sleeping in the room". He responded, his voice husky and calm.. I order a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. That's my favourite, and while I waited to be served by the waitress, Lisa just worked into the restaurant and I was the first person she saw, and as usual her anger skyroc
EPISODE 20 : WEDDING DEALS OR NOT..We came home after the spending three days at the hotel, Christian's luggage was taken to his room, I chose to take mine up to my bedroom, I don't fancy someone else getting access to my luggage though I do allow it but not everytime.."Hey; everything good" .Mom said as she brought along a glass of juice on the stainless tray for me...She placed the glass on the table after realising that I had my hands full. Mom wants to know about what happened at the hotel, where do I start from? How can I tell her that I don't want all of this and mostly, how do I relate to her the real reason why David is getting married to me; he doesn't love me, his only there for the money and believes he'd be compensated for agreeing to marry me, the foster daughter of the most wealthy family in town..Christian on the other hand , he is still in full support about eloping with me, I have not yet said anything but there's something strange with that, his willing to giv
EPISODE 21: TRUTH SYNDROME.Christian bravely faced his mom, he was so outspoken about his feelings for me and I scaredly did the same thing. Mom left the room , she must be going to inform dad about what she heard, Christian asked me not to say anything and that he'd take care of everything..We met mom already talking to dad. "Dad, I can explain?". Christian slowly approached them. Mom turned and she brought dad too to his gaze ." Explain what? That you're sleeping with your foster sister?". He shouted at him..Christian tried to make his parents understand but like I had forseen, mom and dad didn't care to listen, they were both disgusted with the fact that I was sleeping with my foster brother...Mom started crying. She held her hand on her head and began muttering some words only her could understand. I stepped in front of her eyes, trying to talk but she brought her hand up and stopped me from touching her."Go away, Nina" she said to me. Her eyes lached with anger at the
EPISODE 22 : BED OF ROSESThe entire day, it feels like a war zone, mom didn't stop talking about the incident, and while she expressed herself, she kept on making emphasis about me. Christian had to go to the office and I was left alone to face the constant yapping of mom. I'd be in the room and she'll work like twenty five times back and forth with the sole aim of getting me up, she did it at the kitchen, and won't be stopping anytime soon.Evening came, Christian was just returning from the office with his hand and as I ran down to welcome them, mom pushed me off the balcony, I fell down hurting myself.."Nina! What happened!". Christian rushed over when he saw me cleaning my wounded arms.."No, it's nothing". I hid the fact that his mom had intentionally pushed me off the stairs...And even though I tell on her, mom will never accept the validity of what she did..Christian took me to room and the first aid kit was brought, he helped me to clean up the wound and then he started
The lady directed me to another bakery shop, I asked that the same cake be made for me but they said it would only be made after two hours. I checked the time and noticed there was some time left before the party starts. I ordered them to be quick about it While I waited for the order. I waited alone constantly checking at the time. It was seven in the evening and I had less than two hours to get that done. I banged on the front counter and asked if the cake hasn't been finished yet. The lady who came to answer begged me to exercise more patience that the cake would be ready. I got anxious. There was no time more to waste. I asked for the manager to come out and speak with me. A man with a suit walks outside and we got to talk together. He Implored me to stay just for a few hours, how many hours does it take to bake a silly cake. Aaron phones me. He asked for the cake, I had no choice but to lie to him. he gets excited on the phone and gets it disconnected. . It would see
Christian when outside with Mr Smith, I was just seated on the couch when suddenly I heard my son's voice, and he was screaming for help. immediately I ran upstairs to his room and there he was lying on the ground with his hands on how tummy..I was so startled that I carried him in my arms and ran outside to Christain Talking with mr. Smith. Christian kept on being persistent about knowing what happened, should I tell him that I don't actually know what happened to my son?..We went to the hospital.At the hospital, my son was taken in by the nurse, she asked me and Christian to stay outside and wait.For the past two hours, there was no news, not even the nurses had left the room my son was in.I became paranoid.I went to the window, trying to look through the closed curtains but nothing.Aaron sees me and pulled me back to his gaze."Calm down, everything will be fine". He tells.A long time ago I use to believe that, but ever since I came to this mansion.My life and that of
At night, I passed my son's bedroom before going to mine.Thankfully, he was already fast asleep.My bedroom was four rooms away from him.I stepped in, hoping to have time to rest, but unfortunately, that ended, when I made a turnaround and find Christian sleeping on the bed.He lifts his head and smiled at me."Samantha, been waiting for you, come let's sleep,". He pulled up the blanket.I stared at the room. Thinking that I may have gotten into his instead of mine.But it ended up being my bedroom."Why are you here to irritate me, Aaron?"I slammed and walked, navigating towards the bed.I made that statement and giggled..When I tried to take off the bedsheets from his hand, he grabbed them away from me, with a threat.Ever since I stepped my feet here Christian has been doing everything to make my life miserable but in a good way. Firstly He made me cook with so much as not enough time, and now, he left his bedroom only to be in mine.This is childish.Christian still holds
At the school , the room teacher carried Christian and I to the office of the principal, there my son was sadly sitting on one of the chairs, his uniform and shoes unkept, it was evident that he had just gotten into a fight.."Mr and Mrs Nina and Christian, thank you for coming". Said, the principal, before he starts with the reason as to why we are unfit parents.."What happened to my son, i heard he got into an accident?". Christian sat on one of the chair and I walked up to my son..I could hear the principle complain about my son and how he usually gets into a fight, if I had known, I wouldn't have believed that my calm son would get into a fight. "Really? Is this true?". I asked him after the principal stopped talking...My son explained thatz he didn't want to fight his classmates, but they were making fun of him about his parents not married yet their had given birth to him..Hearing that, I was moved into whacking the face of the boy he had gotten into a fight with, but befo
I went to the kitchen for a glass of water.Samantha followed me a d she was still on the same topic.."Please Nina! Give your parents a chance". She said.."Really? You also want the same thing". I turned to her and I frowned.."Yeah! Please, just a chance" she begged me..As much as I don't fancy the idea of talking with the same parents that left me? I was rather intrigued in knowing their reasons.."Okay! I will talk with them tomorrow". I concur to have a moment of conversation with them..Samantha is happy and she finally left me alone.. she didn't seem to care about anything only with the fact that, I have agreed to have a word with my parents..Christian was still upset by what transpired between us downstairs, he wasn't willing to give me his attention and honestly,. I don't like when he gets upset.."Christian! Can we talk?"I said. "Talk? What?". He responds was cold and distant..It only shows that he's still upset with what happened at the living room..I know I was har
The following morning, I went and dropped Samantha at the airport after dropping my son off in his school. I was leaving when I turned and noticed some groups of men dressed in black attire walking past the airport..It looked like someone had died and they were on their way to bury the person....I had to wait for them to leave before getting inside my car and driving back home... Christian was at the kitchen when I arrived. He had his hands busy in making dough for his infamous Cake bread.."Good morning baby!".He blew me a kiss and continued baking .."Good morning, what's all this?". I asked him..."What? I am cooking? I miss baking for you". He replied and went ahead to set the timer on the gas cooker...I wanted to assist him in cooking when I realised that I got something at the office, Jenny, my secretary had called and she wanted to stop by at home to take it from my hand.I went up and got the paperwork from my bedroom, but before I came down with the paper, I realised
I reached the hotel Room and I was already inside waiting for him , an hour as almost gone since my arrival, I was almost compelled to leave the room when Jude decided to show up."Hi! Where are you going?" He closed the door behind and locked it with the keys.."I thought you aren't coming, so I wanted to leave". I explained to him....Jude grinned and he tossed the keys on top of the bed but before then he asked me to sit down and wait while he fresh up...I sat down , a little closer to the key and waited, deep down I prayed that something bad doesn't happen... Jude finished freshening up and he came back to the room wearing only but a towel around his waist, I hated being in the same room as him, but there was nothing I could do.. I had to pretend like I knew nothing and sat down like a good girl waiting to be told what to do next..."Nina! You want a drink". Jude poured a glass of champagne on one of the empty glass and passed the other one to me.I didn't feel like drinking
We got into the apartment, and what I assumed was supposed to be a death pool was actually a stripper's club with shady police men doing all sorts of nasty things...."Fuck! Jude keeps getting more disgusting by the minute"..Samantha whispered to me...I grinned faintly as we followed the kind Lady from outside..She brought us to another session of the apartment, and Jude was right there and a lady slowly making his Dick raise.."So! I'll let you go now because I have business to take care of". Said the young Lady as she leaves, dancing her way through the horny ladies that were romancing themselves...Samantha asked us what we should do..And honestly , if I had known what was happening inside of here, I'd never agree to come down from the car.."Should we go home,?". I suggested to Samantha..."Yeah! I think so". She nodded her head so fast , agreeing with me...We turned back her heads, when a man walked right inside and stopped us from leaving.."Aww! Where are you beautiful
Evening arrived and it was time for Jude's birthday party, he made Christine and I welcome the guests, I couldn't allow Samantha join us because I needed her to look after my son...The guests were invited in and it was only after that, Christain and I were able to leave the door, our kegs were starting to Hurt and I wouldn't have made it standing even for another second..."Good evening guys and welcome to my birthday party!?". Jude climbed unto the podium and talked through the microphone....I rolled my eyes, Christain went outside to answer a phonecall, thereby leaving me alone with the devil himself and his oddly looking guests..Samantha brought my son to me .They were seated behind, with the rest of the guests, Jude invited someone up to help him in anchoring his own party. While he seats on his chair and withnessed everything...Christian was taking Long to come back, since he left to answer a call on his phone, he hasn't returned and I was starting to get worried...
